Producers: David Chesky, Ute Lemper
Master 1930s orchestral songwriter Kurt Weill has been covered by artists from Jim Morrison to Nick Cave (“Alabama Song”), to Bobby Darin (“Mack the Knife”), but few can cover his songs with the seductive flair like German-born Lemper. Her once-trademark striking crewcut has grown long, but her voice has remained smoky and sinuous. Producer David Chesky surrounds her arrangements with a dark dreaminess of crystal clarity. Sit back and let Lemper envelop you in a luxurious atmosphere of pure noir.
